- Have you ever wondered if you have a talent for music? Chances are, you do! In this video, I give you a small test to see if you have what it takes to learn to play by ear. We also learn a C major and G7 chord. Let me know how you do in the comments! More videos soon!
- Hudba
C and G7 really working great for many songs. With these two chords we can play around really.
Thanks Aimee.
I have watched far too many amateur videos on CZcams. I don't know if you have been trained in Media presentation but you are a natural. Smart, intuitive, and to the point. You are a breath of fresh air.
A demo tape sent to any news organization should get you a callback. Best of luck!
Thank you so much Aimee for making these videos. Your'e doing a great service for musicians. Blessings !!!
Lol ive been a guitar player for 34 years and i honestly just relearned someting that is so useful. Thank you
After watching so many instruction videos which I don't understand, or are just so technical and boring I can't follow, I watch your lessons which are fun, informative in a way many of us beginners or musically challenged can understand presented in a simple way. You also are very likeable. Blessings and thank you :)
I love how you make videos that cater to so many levels of musical ability!
Love this piano by ear! Want more!
This the best simple keyboard lesson on chords I have understood. Thanks Aimee
Aimee and Denise, you are both so adorable! Great lesson too! This was helpful!
This is a great, simple lesson.
Well, I'll be... Thanks for taking the test with me, Denise. Aimee, you have a wonderful, encouraging teaching style. I will certainly be back.
🙌🏼🙌🏼
That's a very useful tutorial! Brilliant really!
Brilliant tutorial! Will definitely check out the rest of your videos
iTomAnks thanks! Glad you liked it!
i enjoyed the subtle introduction to the foundation of chords and progressions to the audience in such a fun way keep up the good work
burninturntable thanks!!
We love you, Aimee!! You are the best!!❤️
It's strange how the mind works when it comes to music. One person becomes a well known composer like Mozart, while another cannot carry a tune in a bucket. Years ago, I stood next to a young guy in our choir. He was one of the bucket guys, but it fascinated me that he DID NOT KNOW that he could not sing. He had two notes, and he alternated between them. Sometimes, both notes were in the key of the song we were singing, and often, neither note was in the key. He could follow the lyrics (we all used folders to hold our sheet music) but he was completely oblivious to the music all around him. He thought, from all appearances, that he was doing the same thing as everyone else. In his head, all was well, and his aural processing center completely failed to alert him that he was not making commensurate sounds. Truly, we are wonderfully and mysteriously made.
The same with boxing
Your example is so rare though, I've met almost no one who can just sing two notes. Most people have some capacity for pitch discrimination or they wouont enjoy music.
@@wiltisdabest While he was the most egregious example in 26 years of choir, there have been others who cannot sing the correct note, while surrounded by others who ARE singing on pitch. So, perhaps it is not so rare to be unable to connect what the ear is hearing to the voice via Broca's Area.
Another excellent presentation and lesson. An inscrutable mix of up-front exacting musical standards, (with a decent dose of the challenging and even confrontational), but on the other hand (from other vids) deep insight and empathy into the "creative life". If I had a teacher who confronted me like this, yeah I'd be pretty intimidated. It's quite a combo... It's different.
Thanks for this great lesson
After so many video i watched, this is the most informative and simple.
This video made me realize I can play jazz rhythm changes by ear
Wow she is so charming thank for the course!
Thanks Amy I actually did the play by ear I am so excited. Thanks
Great lesson. Thx.
Bless this video bless this series bless everyone involved with this channel
Everywhere I’ve looked to try and learn piano just didn’t click for me, like, it was either WAY too far ahead for me, or I felt like I was being patronized
Thank you Aimee for making learning piano fun again ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for your help
really interesting test and pratice.love it.
I’m a music teacher. This is AWESOME!!! Super intuitive and awesome for kids❤️❤️thanks
Thanks!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Awesome video! This is very helpful.
Aimee you post superb content!
Ok, good challenge. Fun homework! I think I can do it. Thank you Aimee.
Nice video! Keep up the quality content!
You have a fun personality. The way you smile and speak I always half wonder if you're just pulling my leg with everything you say 😜
Thanks David. 😆
Hey I’m a David as well, gotta take this girl out ona night 🍽
It not a dating site.
Can you do the G7 chord at a snail's pace so I can get it?
Great lesson.thanks
where is part 2? This was great!
Luv your channel
Beautiful.
I-m an amature. love yore perspective.
Love this! Was there ever Part 2?
Lovely very simple tips keep it up
Good on you ... Just learnt what is singing with the tune !
Thanks a lot Aimee. I passed the test. If I try, I think I can learn to play by ear.
Hygggggbghh
Mhjhjhnjbbbvhhhhuuhhghhjjkjkilklk
Kikjkkikoopppppppoo
Hey Aimee, you rock.
Hi Aimee,I like your video eversince I have learned more English and music.you speak very clear
Aimee, you have a delightful helper today. It was quiet easy to sing along and know when to change chord, but I have written a song called Sweet Misery, but I don't know how to make a tune up for it. Maybe I could try to I V chord too.
Will it work for the Batman theme song (1960s TV version)?
pretty informative Now I know what C and G7 refer to!!!! Many thanks...mysteries unravel...THANKS!!!
Watch "the cycle of fifths" next
What do you think about David Lucas burge’s ear training course?
Thank you.
I'll follow your videos.
Aimee, this is a great video how to simplify music accompaniment with just 2 chords and a perfect simple test! If you found C & G7 chords by intuition that is great. I think, it would be also good to elaborate why it works for many songs as your video does not explain. Here is my analysis:
I think the secret comes from using "sort of odd number notes" I, III, V, with C chord & "sort of even number notes": II, IV, I-1, I-3 with G7 so it is in the same range as C but covers all "the other notes" needed for any song. Why G note is not clashing with any other note that is part of both chords? I think it is because in C major scale G note is perfect 5th and perfect 5th is used in many instruments like Bagpipes & Hurdy-Gurdy as a drone that is played all the time in the background of any note of the melody. So basically any note in any melody in C major will either be in C chord (C E G) or G7 (G B D F) so the only note missing from the scale is A. But note A still sounds harmonic with C chord due to A scale being a relative minor to C major scale.
I think this is how beginners should be learning with experiencing music with C & G7 chords and having fun because it works and explaining why it works in the next phase.
Well done!
Thank you. I understood most of what you said, I think.
GREAT!!
nice work
Great video
I liked the video. For me it isn't so much ear training as it is a good simple introduction on harmonizing a melody using I and V chords. I am always looking for videos on harmonizing as I am so bad at it. Hope you make a part 2 and beyond.
+rys61se I have a whole playlist of ear training videos. I hope they're helpful. Thanks so much for your comment.
I also have a playlist: czcams.com/play/PLmlGBy-xaGeUyoGvwlq4PkfR3wVvfkBJ3.html
but it only contains other peoples videos...
So fun... thank you Denise & Aimee
Well ..... A i m e e,
Your "Bill Evans favorite chords" you posted today was very interesting and quite a bit made some sense to me.... but the best thing it did was send me to hear. ( pun intended )
And you also convinced me to start to learn to read music. I started today.
I will always look at your new post ..... BUT ..... honestly I need to view many of your beginner post to be better founded for some of your post.
Thank you.
Ps. I passed ..... no Aced your test here. !
Thanks!!!!😀
I pass the test queen 👑
cool video..
Interesting... I feel it
Thanks a lot
Hi Aimee. I just watched your video on ear training and I need help. I play the harmonica and I play what I feel & when I feel it. I am going to try to learn to play Dobro style guitar. I feel that I can not hear the chord changes. In a 1 4 5 progression I need to play just on the 1st beat of each measure. Example: the song is in A so the exercise is like A 2 3 4, A 2 3 4, A 2 3 4, A 2 3 4, D 2 3 4 ...... and so on for 12 bar Blues. What is the best way to learn to hear the changes?
+Tony Stephens Watch my brand new video. Take some of the songs from the list and try to play along with them. Of course, they will need to be in the same key as your harmonica, but if you play guitar or piano, that would probably be just as helpful to help you hear the changes. You should definitely play either guitar or piano as well as the harmonica.
Tony Stephensnnnn
I think harmonicas are maybe used in a key 5 semi tones up from key song is in? But maybe that changes depending on what "position" the harmonica player is using? But I'm not a musician ;-)) So~~~~~~
Looking forward to Part 2 :)
It’s there...just look in my playlists. Ear Training playlist
I try to sing my notes but my voice is not a beautiful as yours . Also find the note then work with timing and feel or tempo with a song. There are certain keys I SING good in like G D E
I use an app called perfect ear which I have on my cell phone
Do you have book that has all your ideas in it for singing Singing is important ! YOU ARE RIGHT
Thanks your a lot of help to helping me figure out pitch better. I'm actually a rising country music artist on Facebook and trying to win a local idol contest and your helping a lot
Good luck, Jon!
Hi Aimee this is Brad, First things first thank you for all you've done so far you're awesome. I have really enjoyed your you tube vids. I have a question on this subject dealing with pitch and finding it. There is some one I know that I think can sing but they do not. Some times they are singing and its dead on and some times they sing are not. They seem as though they cant hear the clash between the notes. What are some tips to help me help them nail down the correct pitch and help build their confidence? Any pointers are welcome thanks
+Brad VanSlyke Brad did you watch my video called "men, you can totally sing high!"? See if that gives you some ideas. If not, email me.
Did you record more ear training videos in this series? I have subscribed to your channel and searched but not found additional videos.
Go to my channel, click on the playlist tab and you will find an ear training playlist. I think there are three. Thank you for subscribing!
Thanks for this video !, it's Awesome.
A basic lesson with an inverted 7th chord?
I just found this video. Six year later but, did you ever do a complete series for ear training. Do you teach beginner piano online?
There are a few more. Just search for my name and “ear training” in the search bar
Being able to play exactly what you hear and being able tosing on key are two very different things. I suck at singing, but I can play anything I hear (in the simple version ofc)
Interesting, and helpful. Even though i am a (hobbyist) harmonica player rather than piano, iv;e found quite a few of your videos really helpful In this video's case though, my situation is kinda the opposite - i.e. Instead of 'knowing the melody" (by voice) and trying to fit the chords, there are chords playing (and/or parts of the melody eg the lyrics) and i want to mimic the notes and/or harmonize with them and the chords - e.g. as harmony or in the lyric pauses. I'm getting sort of OK at this, and i can (if i'm paying attention) tell when the chords change, but I can't help feeling i'd be a lot better if i know instinctively what the notes and/or the chords are. Any hints or thoughts on this kind of "ear training"? :)
yes i feel it when you have to change the chord :)
I did test 2 but one i couldnt, becuase i voice is bad, but i can hear good, what does that mean
Oh yeah tanks
Omg this is brilliant
Part 1 is great, thank you. Trying to find Part 2! Is it there somewhere?
From my CZcams homepage, click on playlists.
Hi Aimee! I can't find the "Ear training for Beginners Part 2" anywhere, where you add the third grade? Thanks!😊
+Sabrina Davila look at my playlists. They are all there. Thanks for watching!
I’m not going to mention how beautiful you are but I’ll say I’ve always said I could never play by ear although I am a descent singer. Been watching some ear interval training vids the last couple days and I’m still a work in progress but I believe now with practice I could. Thanks for very helpful tip. I’ll watch your next video.🌹
Great video! Do you have any advice for that group of people who do not pass the test. (I didn't read every last comment so maybe you answered this in previous comment). My niece loves to sing but does not sing on pitch and doesn't hear it. What do you recommend?
Never mind! I found your video about using tuner apps! Thanks
Nice, Ruth!! 🙌🏼
She should look for a company of singers.
Maybe she can join a choir.
Singing with others helps a lot.
Identifying bad chords seems easy but I suck hard at being able to tell if I’m singing in tune and as a result naming notes by ear
Hey Aimee, thanks for this top notch quality content, will this series continue? Thanks a lot!
There are two more. Just search for my name and ear training
Thank you!
other songs that work : MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB
my favorite tune to create left hand counter rhythms too :)
also where could i find part 2?
Look up my playlists
@@AimeeNolte I don't see part 2 in the playlists for ear training
I didn’t call it “part two” but there are a couple more videos with “ear training” in the title
what is first song name?
Play by ear, I think is the next note higher or lower and how much.
Great video! Where is part 2?
Go to my CZcams profile and click on playlists. You will find it along with the others. :-)
I really like your teaching style! 😁👍🏾
I have an ear for hearing the chord changes and when they should change; but absolutely do not have a singing voice. I'm 51, and my singing voice goes completely out of key in the middle of a note. Sometimes I'll luck out and hit a note and be able to hold it, but then the next one goes out of tune. Kind of like when boys go through puberty and their voice cracks. I don't guess there's anything to be done, right?
Just be patient to yourself and try softly.
Maybe you see a doctor to check
whether your vocal chords are fine.
Loved this. Anybody know where Part 2 is?
If you click on my channel profile and then go to playlists, it’s easy to find them. Thanks!
LMAO. Rudolph the freeking reindeer! That cracked me up! He will defiantly be freeking if he has to much magic corn! (:
thanks for reminder that all pro's start as begginers
:) thanks
I guess it's not called Ear Training for Beginners (Part 2)? Because I can't find it under that name. Thanks again!😊
Thank you! Is there a Part 2 or not yet?
Basil
And a part 3! :)
Aimee Nolte Music
Great! I will check them out tonight!
Thanks
How long until i can learn by ear ?
Am I the only one or do all pianists have this positive, wholesome character like Josh Wright
So what happens if you find out you don't naturally sing on key? You didn't say. Is there no hope? Are there steps to take in order to learn to do so?! (I love music, but I just don't seem to have the ability to sing. Help!)
+mitchrodee try watching my video about tuning apps. See if that might be helpful to you. There is always hope. :-)
This is SUPER good for beginners like me. This is very understandable. And yet, I'm more interested in the framing of box triads, and proper fingering. Am I moving too fast??
I love this video...thank you so much ! But I cannot find part2! 😥
Go to my playlists
Aimee Nolte Music thank you so much madam! I've being playing the piano for almost 10 years but playing by the ear is something very hard for me. I always thought it was congenital. But thanks to you I realised it's not!
Thank you so much! Keep inspiring!
